ah yes. when I saw the miniseries I was quite young, so my memories are pretty hazy.
I think they were really trying to play up the romance and passion, and in doing so they lost a lot of that lovely elegiac tone. But it mostly worked, and it was very pretty.
this is what I've been thinking. I'm glad you liked it, whatever the relationship to the book!
